REMOVE this item as a referral to the Internal Operations Committee. BACKGROUND: The Internal Operations Committee has had on referral for some months the vacancies on the Human Relations Commission. Last summer, at the request of the Commission, the Board of Supervisors agreed to reduce the size of the Commission from 18 to 12 members in order to make it easier to conduct business. We have solicited applications from the general public and received some 26 applications for the existing vacancies on the Commission. We interviewed 13 individuals who appeared for the interviews last month. We were absolutely overwhelmed with the commitment, interest, background, skills and dedication of all of the individuals who were interviewed. We find it impossible to choose among these individuals and suggest that some are more qualified than others or that some would do a better job on the Commission than others . As a result, we are recommending that the Commission be expanded to a range of between 15 and 20 seats . This will allow the Board of Supervisors to appoint all 13 of the individuals we interviewed. With the remaining members on the Commission, this will bring the total membership to 17 . A number of ,the actions recommended above are technical in nature and are required to move from the existing composition of the Commission to the reduced size of 12 members and then expand the Commission again to its larger size. Since the membership of the Commission is dictated by County Ordinance, it is necessary to I .O.-3 -5- expand from 12 members to the range of 15 to 20 members by Ordinance. We are proposing to appoint members now to fill all of the existing 12 seats on the Commission and express the Board' s intent to appoint the remaining five individuals as soon as the Ordinance is in effect. We are also asking that the Commission prepare within the next three months a detailed work program for calendar year 1994 and present it to the Board of Supervisors no later than March 22, 1994 .

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY RECFJVW September 13, 1993 .SFP ) 6 Honorable Supervisor Sunne Wright McPeak OFFICE OF 2301 Stanwell Dr. Concord, CA 94520 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Dear Supervisor McPeak, I am writing this letter in regards to the Contra Costa County Human Relations Commission. I am one of the individuals interested in becoming one of the new members of the commission. Approximately one year ago I began the process of applying for a seat on the commission. Since that time I know that the commission has gone through several changes, that the seats that are available have not yet been filled, and that you are currently in the process of working on the completion of this task. I am writing to express my continuing interest in becoming a member of the Human Relations Commission. At the time I first pursued membership on the commission I was interviewed by a panel of the commission members. I understand that the process of interviewing will be carried out again and I would welcome the opportunity to be interviewed again as the search for new commission members continues. I have enclosed for your information my resume, a bio, and an article I wrote that I hope will allow you the opportunity to know a little more about me and the knowledge, qualifications, and expertise that I would bring to the commission. I believe that you will observe that I have a strong background in human relations work and a strong commitment to community as it relates to overall healthiness especially in the area of creating strong multicultural communities . I would consider it an honor and privilege to serve the Contra Costa community as a member of the Human Relations Commission. S' cerely, Brenda Blasingam Brrh da Blasingame 350 Gladys. l7n ea ..

" Noticing is The First Step In Re-establishing Our Humanity by Brenda Blasingame Today I walked around the corner from the office to a little fast food place to grab a bite for lunch. As I was waiting for my order,two white men stood in front of me talking. Now,what is so unusual about two white men standinginfrontofinetalking?Nothingofcourse,except that I noticed. I don't mean I looked at them for a second or two,I mean I really noticed them.I saw how very different I was from each of them.I noticed the texture and color of their hair, the type of material their suits were made of,and their shoes,which reminded me of my father's. I looked into one of their faces and wondered what his life was really like. How does he feel about gay people? Would he consider himself a liberal or a conservative? What was his childhood like? Question after question entered my mind. To some people all this might seem unimportant.But for me, it was significant because in the work I do with Equity,part of my job is to challenge people to really look at differences,and to notice feelings and thoughts that arise. In workshops I push people to identify and Try to identify any preconceived pictures or stories you question their own assumptions..1 encourage this notic- may have of the people you notice.

BOARD OF SLIPERVISORS - ` - CONTRA COSTA COUNTY p TOM POWERS VJ�. "ti4 SUPERVISOR.FIRST DISTRICT fT9-COUK MEMORANDUM Date: April 12, 1993 To: Supervisors McPeak and Smith From: Supervisor Powers tJ Subject: Human Relations Commission --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A couple of months ago, the Board of Supervisors' assistants met in Sunne's office to discuss the current status of the Human Relations Commission. It seems that the membership of the HRC has diminished significantly over the past year and is at about half-capacity. I would like to recommend to you both, as members of the 10 Committee, a recent applicant to the HRC whom I believe would make a significant contribution to the Commission, especially during this transition period. His name is Daniel-Ray Carothers and I know him from last year's Walk for AIDS and his role as Walk Committee Chair. Daniel-Ray is a hard-working, thorough and well-organized individual, deeply concerned with human rights issues. I believe he is just what the HRC needs at this juncture. Please give thoughtful consideration to Daniel-Ray's application. cc: Claude van Marter Cortes Costa RECEIVED Office of unty Administr:atc. 100-37th STREET, ROOM 270 RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA 94805-2136 TELEPHONE(510) 374-3231 FAX(510)374-3429 CONTRA COSTA COUI!'T: .DVISORY BOARDS, COMMISS' iS OR COMMITTEES APPLICATION FORM + ) t j c.
